* '''Downplayed''': Alice is in hospital, and Bob comes to visit her, but very slowly and visibly has to calm himself several times before.
* '''Justified''':
** Bob is afraid of doctors and needles.
** Bob had invited Alice to get drunk the night of the car accident, and is ashamed now.
* '''Inverted''': Bob is eager to visit Alice in hospital and refuses to go home afterwards.
* '''Subverted''': After Charlie suggests visiting Alice in hospital, Bob suddenly locks himself in his room and refuses to come out again. But he gets out after a while on himself, telling Charlie that he just needed to calm down.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Don't make a drama out of that one visit, we aren't in some dramatic movie."
* '''Discussed''': "Bob is outside, he is...a little hesitant." "No problem, I know he never liked hospital visits."
* '''Conversed''': "I really feel with Bob. I'm also afraid of hospitals. Don't ever make me visit one, so many multi-resistant germs and deaths..."
* '''Deconstructed''': Since everyone thinks Bo doesn't visit them in hospital because he dislikes them, Bob loses his friends and gains a callous reputation.
* '''Reconstructed''': He explains his general fear and dislike of hospital environments to his friends, what earns him understanding.
